Burritos: Black Bean and Sweet Potato

How have I not shared this recipe before? I first made it over three years ago. And it is yummy! The original comes from the much-loved book Simply in Season. Does anyone have that book and not love it? It is fabulous! Here's my only slightly altered version.

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burrito
1/2 onion, diced small and sauteed in 1 T oil
then add
2-3 cups diced sweet potatoes, cooked covered until soft
use water or apple juice as needed to prevent sticking to the pan
Add
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 t cumin
a generous 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt (or more as needed)
Heat until warm. Serve inside warm tortillas. Also good on top of rice. Shredded cheddar cheese is a good topping option.
